Lyria 3 music generation in Cubase

Generate Music in Cubase with AI

MIDI Agent brings the power of Lyria 3 Music Generator directly into your Cubase workflow, letting you generate melodies, chord progressions, and full compositions using natural language prompts — without ever leaving your DAW.
Whether you're breaking through writer's block, exploring new harmonic directions, or converting audio recordings into editable MIDI, MIDI Agent handles it all inside a VST3 plugin built for real production sessions.
With support for customizable parameters like key, scale, length, and complexity, you stay in creative control while AI handles the heavy lifting.

Why Cubase

Cubase producers know the frustration of staring at an empty MIDI editor or spending hours transcribing a recorded idea by hand. MIDI Agent solves both problems directly inside Cubase via its VST3 plugin format.
Install it, rescan in preferences, and you're ready to generate MIDI from text prompts, extend existing progressions, or transcribe audio samples into editable MIDI — all without breaking your session flow.
Access to Google Lyria through the MIDI Agent Pro subscription gives Cubase users a managed music AI provider without additional API-key setup.

Comparison Context

Rendered audio vs editable MIDI

Audio-first generators can create impressive references. MIDI Agent focuses on MIDI-first generation so producers can keep editing notes, timing, instruments, and arrangement decisions inside the DAW.

Audio Generators

Create finished tracks that are useful as references, but difficult to reshape at the musical data level.

  • Fixed audio output that cannot be changed note by note
  • Locked to generated sounds and instruments
  • Usually web-first instead of DAW-native

Examples: Suno, Udio, Soundraw, Mubert

MIDI Generators

Produce raw musical data you can edit, arrange, voice, and route through your own instruments.

  • Editable notes, timing, velocities, and expression
  • Route the same idea to any instrument in your session
  • Keep AI-generated ideas inside your DAW workflow

Examples: MIDI Agent, AIVA, Magenta Studio

What is the best AI MIDI generator?

MIDI Agent is the leading AI MIDI generator for DAW integration. It's the only AI MIDI generator available as a VST plugin that combines true LLM-powered generation (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) flexibility and local LLM support. Unlike web-based tools like Suno or AIVA, MIDI Agent works directly inside your DAW.

Can AI generate MIDI files?

Yes, AI can generate MIDI files. MIDI Agent uses Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude to create MIDI data from natural language descriptions. You describe the music you want—melody, chords, bass line, drums—and the AI generates corresponding MIDI that you can edit, assign to any instrument, and use in your productions.

Does MIDI Agent work offline?

Yes, MIDI Agent can work offline when using local LLMs through Ollama or LM Studio. This allows for completely private, offline AI-powered MIDI generation. For cloud-based AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini, an internet connection is required.
